don't have a lot of native speakers, that's hard to apply. The guidelines,
being written for a wide variety of languages, don't say what the
low-frequency structures and complex high-frequency structures are. Perhaps,
for example, if there were a body of native speakers, the phrase "setese"
would almost never occur in speech, except in the sentence "mi setese cusku
naja catra .ei do" (If I tell you, I have to kill you).
Should discussion of levels of proficiency be moved to the LBCK list?
